Kids Bunk Bed Isn't As Difficult As You Think

Kids Bunk Bed – A Great Way to Maximize Space Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and make the most of space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that prevent gaps or areas where children could be trapped or entangled. The method by which the bed can be accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders. Space-saving Design Bunk beds are a great way to maximize a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide convenience and elegance. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your kids can sleep side by side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially when you intend to use the bottom bunk as an office or playroom during the day. Most bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. For safety reasons it is recommended that the height of the ladder should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads while ensuring the younger child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high. Consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs for your kids' bedroom furniture to appear elegant. Not only will this add an extra stylish touch to your children's room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other things they might need to stow away. Some bunks can also be expanded from a bed to a futon. This allows your children to use the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then slide out the top futon for an ideal sleeping space at night. This type of bunk bed is great when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the extra sleeping surface. If you don't have the space to fit a traditional bunk bed, consider a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of the room. This leaves space for other furniture like cabinets or shelves. Some bunk beds come with an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while still in their beds. This will help them stay focused during their study time and promotes good habits. Easy Climbing Ladder Bunk beds are an ideal solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space for two separate rooms. A majority of our beds feature a ladder to make it easier for kids to reach the top bunk. This is much safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be risky. Children should only climb on top bunks if they are mature enough to climb safely, which is usually when they reach six years old. Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders that are found on bunk beds, but we recommend angled ladders to increase the safety and ease of use. These ladders are easier to grasp and provide a more pleasant experience. To climb, children place their feet on the rungs one at atime and then climb up until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to help children to hold onto the ladder as they climb. If you are seeking an option that is permanent There are a variety of styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs have a railing that encircles the staircase to provide additional security, and they have an extra wide tread to avoid slips and falls. For a more decorative look, consider an stairwell with built-in storage drawers. They are ideal for keeping your kids' rooms organized and neat. A loft bed without an attached ladder to the bunk below is another way to save space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep under. A lot of these bunk beds and lofts are designed to look like a treehouse or another amusing structure, making them an ideal choice for children who love spending time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide for an extra touch of fun. Extra Storage Many bunk and loft beds provide additional storage options to help kids keep their rooms tidy and clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothing, books, toys and more without taking up floor space. They also work in modern and traditional bedroom designs.
